The story

The movie largely takes place in London following the September 11 attacks on the United States by al-Qaeda, and reflects a period of heightened racial tensions in Britain as well.

Seventeen years later, Nazneen and Chanu are raising their two daughters in London.

Having been passed over for promotion he was certain he was due, the prideful Chanu resigns from his job and Nazneen gets a sewing machine from a neighbour to earn extra money mending jeans.
